印度语言政策与语言民族间的冲突与争论

民族国家以法定的形式确立某种民族语言为唯一的官方语言似乎不证之明,然而,此种惯例被印度的三语言政策所打破。印度三语政策不仅确定印地语和英语为联邦官方语言,还确定了各邦官方语言,从而引发印度各语言民族之间的矛盾和冲突,语言政策成为权力竞争的角斗场。

The Conflict and Argument between Indian Language Policy and the Native Ethnic Groups

We take it for granted that only one language can be recognized as the only official language in every nation.However,such an axiom is not applicable in India,because of the "Three Language Formula" based on which Hindi is an official language of the Union and English is an associated official language of the Union. That apart,early tribe and its own official language.Since then,language conflicts have been of great concern between different groups,and language policy is something like an arena for power struggle.
